Herniated Discs… Advice Please

Hello All,
I have recently started using MyFitnessPal again after suffering from 2 herniated discs and sciatica, which cause me to gain 10+ pounds.
My questions to all that can answer are the following:
Did you have to get epidurals? Did they work for you and how long?
Even with successful epidurals did you still have surgery?
Without surgery did you eventually get better?
A little about my issue: I am L4/L5/S1. It’s been an issue for 6 months. Second epidural has helped A LOT, but I am hoping it will go away (the pain) without surgery.
I am apparently a good candidate, but I don’t particularly want to do the surgery…. It is my absolute last option.
I am just looking for a little advice and/or your own life’s perspective on the problem.
Thank you.
